the TC video's conclusion is that the evaporative humidifiers are best, but TFA's main complaints would not be solved by that. It sounds like the TFA needs an air filter combined with an evaporative cooler. And maybe some expectation management concerning what happens to standing water at room temperature under a fan.
- ajford 6y agoIt's probably more likely that the humidifier in TFA is just a poorly designed POS and should be replaced with a better version of the same evap type. If you notice, the evap ones TC covers in his video all have easily accessible fans with no grill blocking access to the blades, and in general are fairly cleanable, while the one in TFA sounds like a nightmare.
- kumarsw 6y agoI bought an old Vornado Evap40 wicking unit from an estate sale some time back after concerns about using an ultrasonic unit with tap water that is high in silicates. The whole unit breaks down so it's pretty easy to clean if it gets slimy inside.
- xxpor 6y agoHe made a video talking about that, basically he thinks he have the wrong impression and he doesn't think any version is "the best" per se, it all depends on your situation. https://youtu.be/HfFAiCMLJ14 https://youtu.be/HfFAiCMLJ14
- xmodem 6y agoI have an ultrasonic humidifier and I swear by it. The water here is quite soft so I don't have much trouble with the dust Alec complains about.
